Marooned in Maywick Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 ^^^Not quite, I'd suggest the number is somewhere between the two as many folk I know would go to a concert in their own area but no others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernView Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Since it looks like the Anderson high is going to move to the Clickimin area, The existing School should have been upgraded into the Music and Cinema venue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 NO SP that means that 1000 people go to 5 gigs each therefor 5000 tickets sold, 1 gig would attract 1000 people, 2 gigs the same 1000 people twice, 3 gigs 3 tmes etc So, you are saying that less than 1000 folk visited for the folk festival, and the same folk went to each of the gigs? Even if that band on that night was one they were not too fond of... So your explanation may be a bit simplistic.. Now, tell us how many came off the ferry or plane for the festival?I suppose you have to include the players too, they went to a few gigs.

sheepshagger Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Now, tell us how many came off the ferry or plane for the festival? I think you would need to pose that question to flybe and northlink not anyone on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatal Paper Cut Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Since it looks like the Anderson high is going to move to the Clickimin area, The existing School should have been upgraded into the Music and Cinema venue? Couldn't be done. The decision on Mareel was taken while the Council were still arguing about a new AHS at The Knab site. Irrespective of that, you'd have to gut and refit the AHS to such an extent that the costs would make it prohibitive and you might as well build a purpose designed building from scratch anyway.

shetlandpeat Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 ss, then how do you know how many visited the Isles for the festival and y could more come to see a larger gig...How many come for the Folk Festival?, is that not thousands? I know, not in one space..... But, I think the weather plays a part, weather or not to risk it... Oh, here is what I asked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njugle Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I was down at the museum the other day and noticed the drilling rig on site looked a bit dusty. Perhaps a request to the site office that they keep the drill cuttings damped might make be in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggywiggie Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 there is always going to be dust where things are being built. open a window at night its not as bad. I am living near somewhere where from 7am-6pm big truck loads of rubble are being moved. you just have to deal with it and not complain. you will get used to it. look on the plus side with the dust on ur windows nobody can look into your house and see any mess works for me hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 The contractor is OBLIGED to install dust suppression. Any drilling, cutting or crushing has to dust free, it is part of the legislation under COSHH. So, if you have to shut windows because of the dust, the contactor is breaking the law, and making a profit from those activities, not to mention the health implications. Some of the dust could be dangerous to health.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the legislation says dust *free*, however, as this is the internet so please state chapter and verse if I'm wrong if it makes you feel better. I think it is supposed to be managed yes, but there is a level of reality to embrace here as I'm not aware of any contractor who can beam a fully formed building into place with no disturbance at all. In any event, the pile driving is a short lived process over the construction life cycle so it will be over soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The articles don't say that. They talk about workers and the requisite preventatives that "should be considered" (cis36). Minimise is the key word I think.
